Ryan Gosling must be a superhero. From breaking up a street-fight to saving a woman from getting hit by a car, he’s like the Batman of New York City – all that’s missing is the cape!

Just a few days ago, British journalist Laurie Penny was almost hit by a taxi cab on 6th Avenue when Gosling saved her life. “I literally, LITERALLY just got saved from a car by Ryan Gosling. Literally. That actually just happened,” Penny shared on Twitter.

She continued: “I was crossing 6th avenue in a new pink wig. Not looking the right way because I am from London. Ryan Gosling grabbed me away from a taxi.”

Back in 2011, footage was revealed of Gosling, in a striped shirt and baseball cap, in another superhero act — stopping a fight on the streets of the Big Apple.
